The Freedman's Bank Creditors.
1t looks now az if the money due the
depositOrs in the wrecked and defunct
Freedman's Bank would be paid to them
in the near future by the government.
There Is bill for that purpose PENDING
in The Senate and another in the House.
The one in the Senate is championed by
Senator Sherman.
Doubtless articles will now appear here
and there in the press, showing what a
great wrong was done the freedmen who
deposited their money in the bank relying
upon the government to protect their in
terest. 1t will also be urged that as the
government encouraged the freedmen to
put their savings INTO the bank, and as
the money was lost through no fault of
theirs, they ought to be reimbursed out of
the Overlooking Treasury.
There would be some reason and Justice
in paying the claims of the Freedman's
Bank depOsitors if there were any as.
surance that those who actually lost the
money would get it, But who is there
who believes that any considerable por-
tion OF the claims is yet in the possession
OF the original depOsltorsy 1t is a nOtori-
Gus fact that for years it has been stated
in and about the lobbies OF Congress that
the claims are largely held by Spectators
who purchased them for almost nothing.
1t would not be surprising If those who
are behind the pending legislation, re-
speeding these claims are spectators,
and not the depOsitOrs. If there were
nothing but sympathy and a desire to do
what appears to be justice 10 the ignorant
and deirauded negro de2ositors, to sup
port the bills To pay the claims, it is prob
aDle that it would be MANY year before
there would be serious movement to pay
them. Let Congress find out VINO hold the
claims before authorizing their payment

ST. JOINS, N. F., May 4.-The steamer
Plover running between the northern ports
of this island and the capital, arrived here
at eleven o'clock yesterday. At ten o'clock

THE PARIS HOLOCAUST,

| The Paris Theater Fire More Fatal Than
at First Reported-Over Two Hundred
Lives Reported Lost. arg@ 4,
PARIS, May 27.-Twenty more bodies were
| recovered yesterday afternoon from the
ruins of the Theater Comique. The search
for victims still continues. The remains of
three men and two women were found IN
| a stage box, where they had taken refuge
| from the flames. 1t is ascertained that many
bodies lie buried in the debris in the upper
galleries, whence escape was exceedingly
difficult. The Government proposes to close
several Paris theaters because of their de-
ficlency in exits. Late yesterday afternoon
the bodies Of eighteen ladies, in full dress,
were found lying together at the bottom OF
the staircase leading from the second story.
These ladies' had escorts to the theater, but
no remains of men were found anywhere
near where the women were burned to
death.
The walls Of the theater began falling
last evening, and the search for the bodies
had to be abandoned for the day. The Ii
brary attached to the theater was entirely
destroyed with all its contents, including
many valuable scores. Six thousand cos
tunes were burned in the wardrobes. The
work of searching for the bodies was re-
sumed this morning and a number more
were exhumed. The Official statement says
fifty bodies are already recovered.
Revellon, speaking in the Chamber Of
Deputies, estimated that at least 200 per-
sons lost their lives in the fire. The Opera
Comique was insured for 100000 francs.
To-day 156 missing persons have been in

A TREATY QUESTION.


The 'NIost Favored Nation" Clause Does,
Not Always Count.
WASHINGTON, May PA curious case Of
attempt to hold the Government to certain
treaty stipulations in the collection of du--
ties upon certain imports was settled by a
decision of the Supreme Court yesterday
afternoon. Thomas W. Bartram and Joseph
BartraIn, of New York, are sugar brokers',
and two years ago imported four cargoes
of brown and unrefined sugars and mo-
lasses from the island of st. Croix, prov
ince belonging to the King of Denmark.
The Bartrams claimed that basing their
claims on the fourth section of the Danish
treaty they are entitled to enter this sugar
and molasses, the product OF the Danish
domains, free, because imports of like char
acter from Hawaii were entered free OF
duty. The Government filed a demurrer to
the claim of the importers, claiming that
the law Of Congress imposing duties ad-
mitted no such sugars free, and that the
law was the only guide for the customs Of
icers. The court sustained the demurrer
and the case was brought to the Supreme
Court, which yesterday sustained the lower
court upon practically the same grounds.

st. Louis Wholesale Grocers Enter Com
plant Against the Missouri Pacific.
ST. LOUIS, May 2S-The Associated
Wholesale Grocers of this city have en-
tered formal complaint of discrimination
against the Missouri Pacific before the
Interstate Commission. 1t is alleged
that conspiracy exists between the
Missouri Pacific and other lines by which
shippers outside of the State are charged
less for transportation for points within that
State than is charged Missouri Shippers for
transportation between the same points !;
that although the Missouri Pacific has no
line of its own between this city and East
st. Louis, it offers to do bust
ness for both these points from
Kansas, Nebraska and other States
at the same rate, and as the Mis-
souri, Pacific must pay something for trans
portation across the river out of the COM
pensation received, it is argued that this
city is Disseminated against in favor of
East st. Louis. 1t is further set forth that
the Missouri Pacific rates for car load lots
from this city and other points are more
than % per cent. less than is charged for
similar merchandise in quantities less than
a car load, which it is alleged is in viola
ton of the Interstate law.
